PDF Recently I was extremely lucky to be gifted a bunch of local produce. And once again, I was amazed at what a fabulous part of the country I live in. The produce was so fresh and beautiful that I just let the ingredients speak for themselves. We had green beans, wax beans, and pole beans that I cleaned and trimmed and tossed with olive oil, chopped garlic, kosher salt, and halved plum tomatoes and put into a 400 degree oven for an hour. We had the most lovely side dish, crunchy roasted beans with juicy tomatoes. Just delicious!
We also had kale, which I hate to admit, I don’t like. My husband however, loves it, so we just cleaned it and chopped it up and added it to some seasoned water, with some chopped red onion in the crock pot. We cooked it on high for four hours and we’ll have to take Jim’s word for it, but according to him it was delicious.
I say it over and over again, but there is just nothing like fresh, local produce. I feel so lucky to live somewhere that it’s so abundant!
